I know, it's been WAY too long since I last produced a podcast, to make it up to you I have put together a slightly expanded edition.
When I originally started the show I had a little more free time than I do now, however, I do want to keep the GTP going. With some attention to my time management skills, I should be able to get at least one podcast out a month. If I find some extra time, or a topic that I think you should know about straight away, I will produce additional episodes as possible.
In this episode we'll cover some software applications that will help you document your research, as well as cover some ways you can publish your work and even share it for collaboration.
Software mentioned in this episode:
EverNote: http://www.evernote.com (PC)
